WHAT IS A SEARCH FUND?

Search Funds offer complementary advantages for both entrepreneurs and investors. For entrepreneurs, it provides an opportunity to become a CEO in their area of expertise, providing valuable hands-on experience building and further expanding a successful company to reach its full potential without having to start from scratch. For investors, it offers the potential for significant returns when the acquired company succeeds and grows under the capable and experienced leadership of the searcher.

RAISING CAPITAL

Raising capital for search funds involves securing funds to identify and acquire a privately-held company, supported by investors like high-net-worth individuals, family offices and search specific investment funds like Search Fund Oz.
